Nederlander geeft voorkeur aan ontspannen vakantie

June 26, 2020

57 percent of women prefer to relax when they go on holiday, while just over half of men (52 percent) prefer this. Research agency GFK announced this on Thursday. Almost 40 percent of men prefer to go on an active holiday (a trip in which a lot is done and seen), compared to 33 percent of women.

Wat zeggen de cijfers?

Worldwide, more than half of the population also prefers to spend their holidays relaxed. Almost 60 percent say they would rather not do too much during the holidays. 33 percent of the 22,000 respondents, spread over seventeen countries, say they prefer an active holiday.

Brazilians in particular like to relax on holiday. 71 percent of them indicate that they prefer not to do too much. In South Korea and Japan, the relaxing holiday is also the most popular with 66 percent. The French (44 percent) and Spaniards (43 percent) are at the top when it comes to active holidays.

Of the Dutch people, the age group between 40 and 49 years old is the largest group (60 percent) that prefers to be lazy during the holidays. On the other hand, the group between 20 and 29 years old does not care much whether they go on a relaxing holiday (43 percent) or an active holiday (45 percent).

Kinderen

Both in the Netherlands and worldwide, the presence of children in the family has relatively little influence on the choice of holiday. Here too, the relax holiday remains a favorite with every family composition.
